I Heart Makati Night Shots

June 15-18, 2010
Makati Central Business District, Makati city

I ♥ Makati. I ♥ the Philippines. I ♥ being free

I Heart Makati Night Shots

Having to take part in my first ever photo competition with only a week left to spare, and free time only on the after-work hours, 3 continuous nights of shooting is not that hard to imagine and do. With the rare oppportunity to freely take shots anywhere in makati central business district, a new tripod to test, and the sheer love of taking shots behind my camera, this event has just gotten into me.

Office workers by day, photographers by night, you can call it that way. It has been tiring but it has been so much more memorable and fun!

So here they are –

Light Trails

Another attempt at doing trails

Walkways and Underpasses

Shots taken deep into the night and way beyond the regular work hours, thus the walkways and underpasses being quite empty and spacious – that also being quite the oppsosite of what it’s like during the day.

Underpass pose

So much for being empty and candid – this wacky group just couldn’t resist the uncommon site of a dlsr camera mounted on a tripod that is pointing straight at them in the middle of an underpass. We’ll I guess there’s nothing more to do but to just let them pose as the subject.

Thanks, I’ve always been fascinated with light trails at night. It’s nice to know my shots are being appreciated by other photobloggers. hehe. Mmm, I’m not sure if there is another IHeartMakati event this year; if there is, then I, and perhaps you too, will be joining again. 🙂
